Inspiration Group

What Inspiration Group does

Inspiration Group is a privately owned real estate investment and asset management company headquartered in Berlin, Germany, founded in 2009. The firm invests in German residential and commercial real estate as a buy-and-hold investor and value-add developer, with a current portfolio of approximately EUR 200 million and a cumulative transaction volume of approximately EUR 500 million realized over its lifetime. The portfolio spans approximately 130,000+ square metres across 2,550+ units, with a current composition of ~64% residential and ~36% commercial, concentrated in Berlin neighborhoods (Charlottenburg, Kreuzberg, Tempelhof, Prenzlauer Berg, Lichtenberg, Neukölln, Wilmersdorf, Friedenau, Friedrichshain) and extended to other German locations including Fürstenwalde (Brandenburg), Kiel (Schleswig-Holstein), and Zossen.

The company operates as a single unified service: end-to-end real estate investment, project development, and asset management executed by an in-house team of approximately 30–50 employees. Core operational functions span acquisitions, asset management, leasing, modernization, and disposition. Notable holdings include the Fürstenwalde residential portfolio (23 buildings, 317 units, 97% occupancy post-modernization), the GODU commercial building in Berlin-Tempelhof (~10,400 sqm), the Kiel residential portfolio (263 units, ~21,300 sqm), and the Zossen mixed-use property (50-room hotel, 12 apartments, ~900 sqm commercial). The firm has recently diversified into light industrial / logistics via sale-and-leaseback transactions and pure mixed-use assets.

The business model combines three revenue streams: ongoing asset management income from the owned portfolio, transaction-based revenue from property acquisitions and dispositions, and returns on the buy-and-hold and value-add strategies. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, targeting private investors, family offices, and co-investors — supplemented by event participation (MIPIM), multilingual investor communications, and three offices (Berlin HQ at INS Management GI GmbH, Ramat Gan, and Hong Kong). The legal entities are Inspiration GI GmbH and INS Management GI GmbH, both registered in Berlin (HRB 122202B). The firm is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors or funding rounds.
